Seems that we’ve come down with a case of the dreaded Osaka flu. Barely enough energy to type, let alone think deep thoughts. We’re doing out best to knock out the sickness with rest and caffeine (as opposed to more dubious remedies of yore). Back as soon as our head’s clear; in the meantime, check out the sample behind that Nas and Damian Marley collaboration we posted a few days back.

Nice to see some love for Mulatu Astatke. The recent release “From New York City to Addis Ababa: The Best of Mulatu Astatke” is excellent.
“Mulatu of Ethiopia” is also very good. Though my opinion of it is biased – my copy is one of those hyper-faithful Japanese CD imitations of an LP, complete with CD sleeve and lyrics/credits insert. And I am a sucker for hyper-faithful miniature copies of other things.
We all have our weaknesses.
